Pushing open the bronze door, there was darkness inside.
The face of the person who opened the door was still calm. He stepped forward and walked into the darkness. When the bronze door closed again, the door disappeared into the forest.
It's like it never happened.
Behind the bronze door, mist floats, moving forward along a path. Flowers of different colors bloom on both sides of the path, as far as the eye can see.
The man's steps were very slow, and his body may have reached a critical point. Fatigue and exhaustion almost occupied his entire body. His eyelids grew older and heavier, and his body was shaky, as if he would faint at any time.
Finally, the steps appeared in front of him, and the man let out a long sigh of relief. It was as if when he saw the steps, he was re-injected with energy and saw hope again.
Climbing up the stairs, you can see the endless road again. The man's body was already very weak, but he never stopped to rest. Until he reached the last step, the man could no longer hold on and moved forward. He fell and fell on the cold ground.
He rolled over and gasped for air.
At the end of the steps, there is an empty platform, with square bricks propped up and joined together, and at the end of this flat platform, there is a pitch-black abyss.
In the abyss, a ball of red light bloomed, and the red light reflected the wall opposite the platform. On the bronze wall, there were some golden patterns, which made people confused, but also revealed a vague sense of mystery.
The man lying on the ground slowly raised his head and looked not far away. At the edge of the platform, there was a long dining table. There were six chairs in front of the dining table, and five people had already sat down. The extra space seems to be reserved for men.
When the man slowly got up and headed towards the dining table, the five people walking on the chairs all showed sneer expressions.
They all saw the man's weakness, but from the beginning to the end, no one thought of standing up, giving him a hand, or even gloating about his misfortune.
"Yo yo yo, let me see who this is, oh, isn't this the liar who was so successful on the Emperor Mountain! How did he end up in such a situation?" A woman said slowly, her tone full of ridicule.
The strong man walking beside the woman touched his shiny bald head and said cheerfully: "Liar, I remember that when you went, you brought a lot of people with you. Where are Ye Rose Blade and the others? Why are you the only one back? Woolen cloth?"
"Hahaha, No. 3, don't you know this? Those who followed the liar to Emperor Mountain, one by one, were all folded there. I have already said that the forerunners of Daxia are not easy to mess with, those None of the foreign extraordinary forces are worthy of trust, but...some people just don't believe in evil!" The speaker was a man with a small whip and a fan in his hand.
The liar turned his face and scanned the faces of the people who were sarcastic to him one by one. In the end, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even feel angry about it. He knew very well that if he were sitting in their position now, , and will not give up this opportunity to ridicule.
Instead of working hard and trying hard to get involved, it is better to suppress peers and ridicule teammates.
This kind of thing seems to be uncommon in all walks of life.
When he came to his seat and sat down, the liar coughed twice more violently.
"First of all... I have to correct your statement. I brought many people with me this time, and not all of them died there. The little blacksmith is still alive."
The bald man frowned: "Little blacksmith? Since he is still alive, why hasn't he come back yet? Could it be that he has turned traitor?"
"You shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask the little blacksmith." The liar said seriously.
"Oh, you took the person out, but you didn't bring the person back. If I don't ask you, why don't you ask me?" The man with pigtails mocked.
The little old man next to the man with the pigtails was chubby and looked kind-hearted. At this moment, he was happily trying to smooth things over: "Forget it, forget it, it's great if No. 5 can come back safely. As for the little blacksmith, it's actually time to join our Divine Fire." It won’t take long, even if you really betray, even if you defect to the Forerunners, it won’t have any impact on us.”
The liar sat on the chair, looked at his clothes, and sighed.
Thinking of the hardships of his journey, he wanted to cry.
What really made him despair was what he felt when Gu Yuan appeared on the high platform that day.
It was obvious that Shenhuo had always mastered Gu Yuan's information.
But at that moment, the terrifying aura he felt from his body still couldn't be dissipated.
This is probably a psychological shadow left behind.
"No. 5, let me ask one more question. Did you really complete your mission when you went to Dadi Mountain this time?" The kind-hearted old man asked curiously.
He could feel that Liar was very weak now, but other than that, he didn't seem to have any special feelings.
And they all knew what the liar was going to do when he went to Dadi Mountain.
But what happened on Dadi Mountain was not very clear to them.
At least for now, they don't feel anything special about the liar.
When the liar heard this question, he had a complicated expression on his face.
In fact, he didn't know whether he succeeded or not.
To say it was unsuccessful, the eyeball was already hanging in the sky.
But if I have to say it was a success...when the eyeball appeared, everything that happened was beyond their control, especially that eyeball, which was already dim.
At this moment, a red light from the abyss fell on the opposite wall, and the golden patterns on the wall seemed to move. The six people sitting at the dining table closed their mouths at the same time, staring at the opposite wall, their eyes Full of piety and awe.
Immediately, the wall projected a golden light, forming a light curtain above the heads of the six people.
Above the light screen, there were faint characters dancing, and finally formed a complete string of words.
"No. 5, you are back and tell me everything that happened in Dadi Mountain."
There was no sound, just words dancing in the light screen.
But even so, the liar still stood up subconsciously, as if this was the only way to express his respect.
But then, the text in the light curtain began to change again.
"You're not in a very good condition, sit down and talk."
It was clearly a word without warmth, but the liar still had a look of gratitude on his face.
"Thanks……"
He bowed towards the light curtain. When people who didn't know saw this scene, they doubted the liar's mental state.
However, the few people who had previously been sarcastic towards the liar now had equally serious expressions, and did not think there was anything wrong with the liar's behavior.
It seems that it should be so.
"Sir, in fact, I don't know if this operation is considered a success. Originally, everything went according to our plan, but the fire demon's mountain fire did not burn. This was beyond my expectation. We underestimated The response speed of the Daxia Forerunners...
However, I always firmly believe that the biggest variable this time is the boy named Gu Yuan in Star City! "
When the name Gu Yuan was mentioned, the liar's expression was a bit complicated, ranging from anger to deep fear.
Some people died, but not completely...
